Mets Trade for Peralta, Building Rotation for 2026

It's March 30, I'm Cory with the story, and this is New York Mets News today, your AI-powered

team report.

The New York Mets are on a mission to bounce back from their brutal 2025 collapse, where

they started hot at 45 and 24.

But finished with playoff dreams in the dust.

Now they're stacking their rotation for 2026, starting with a big trade for Freddie

Peralta last year's National League wins leader, straight from the Milwaukee Brewers.

They sent top prospects Brandon Sprote and Jet Williams to Milwaukee, along with Tobias

Myers coming back the other way.

Offseason moves slower first, but this deal lit the fire, giving them a frontline ace

to anchor the staff.

Fans and analysts are buzzing, calling it a smart power move after that midseason nose

dive worse than just a slump.

Mets owner Steve Cohen and exec David Sterns are feeling the heat to win now, and this

shores up a weakness that killed them last year.

Here it is they might not stop here, with talks whirling about chasing Pittsburgh's

Paul Schienz, the dominant rookie who got a 9.2 million.

Dollar bonus.

A Peralta Schienz duo would terrorize the league, especially with games in Pittsburgh coming

up this summer.

Mets are building a rotation that could carry them deep, turning last year's wreckage into

real contention.

Keep watching these moves, they're all in.
